Long County is located in southeastern Georgia, created in 1920 and named for Crawford “Long” (a state legislator). The county seat is Ludowici. The region is strongly rural, with much of the land dedicated to timber, agriculture or pine forest, and smaller towns rather than dense suburbs. Housing is typically modest: simple single-family homes, older farmhouse style homes, mobile/modular homes and land parcels for building. Because of the rural nature and limited development pressure, home prices may commonly lie in the US $140,000-$220,000 region for many existing homes in good condition. For building a new home on land, depending on lot size and finish, you might estimate $200,000-$300,000+. The nearest larger employment zones are some distance away, so this county will especially appeal to buyers valuing space, affordability, land and slower pace of life rather than close-in metro access.
